Meditation is fucking impossible
>>42520956Only if you fall for the Buddhist methods and dogma.
why be a monk when you can be a witchADD is encouraged
>>42520956Not really. It's a little hard at first, but it's just the pacing around your room that you do on a normal basis, but instead you're sitting still
>>42520956you are naturally getting in trances when you sleepall you have to do is hide in the backroom until the mall is closethen you can have some fun
>>42520956You are training your mind to be still. It will inevitably wander; it is in the nature of the mind. You can't get frustrated at this. As long as you keep bringing your attention back to the breath you are doing it right and you should reward yourself with happy feelings.

>>42520956I too have ADHD
>>42520956>lay down>put on headphones and listen to music>stare at a single point without moving my eyes>start tripping mad balls soberIt's so fucking easy
>>42520956try focusing on the black in front of your eyes when they’re closed. don’t let your mind wander, keep focusing and take slow breaths, in your nose and out your mouth
>>42521047This, but completely opposite statement
>>42520956If you're novice and you can't rest your attention on single point for 5 minutes, that's normal. Meditation is possible if you do it daily, oreferably for about an hour a day to get really run results. Meditation should be fun and attention on something should be always be a nere suggestion in your mind, not forcing it onto the object. Relax, make a suggestion, observe, repeat.

Someone has probably assaulted the f out of u.And I wonder if the same goes for Uncle Chuckie he says the mind does some weird shit...ALL in all it could be why psionics is difficult to learn because everyone got it differently by their teachers and their mates in their brains when they grew up and it's crime that let's your head go around pushing your frames over and stuff if u try hold them (mine does).
>>42521113wouldn't music be too distracting?
>>42520956>Meditation
>>42521047FPBP, Master of Earth
>>42521077This. But it doesn't have to be focus on breathing. I meditate for an empty mind. I gently push away all thought except a focus on my 3rd eye
>>42520956seek out a legitimate teacher, be very discerning>inb4 hes not discerning and falls for a charlatan
Depends on how you define meditation and on who you are to be honest.People with OCD have a harder time with it while others "get it" from the very first few sessions.I personally struggled for years with it, I sat for endless 40-60 minute sessions with little progress, I was wrestling with endless thoughts all the time and I never got to "concentrate" at all (ok maybe some minutes but 95% of my meditation was just me watching thoughts).Then I changed my practice and I began training pranayama/anapanasati meaning that I began training my body to breath deep and slow, this reduced the recurring thoughts by a lot, it was way harder to do since I was now not relaxing completely but I was being attentive and I was reprogramming my body and nervous system.Nowadays I can enter good concentration states after 30 minutes of sitting, some days even at 20 minutes.
Tell me about it! The voices get annoyed fast.
>>42521047As a western Hindu I agree with this statement.
>>42522500Have you achieved any trance states or visuals as people who do this say?
>>42521047The recent "Buddhist book or living and dying" is very interesting Just don't read any trash written by pajeets or american """masters"""
>>42520956Just close your eyes
>>42520956Naw. I know it sounds like a meme but just focus inward. I can’t explain it any other way.
>>42523894White people trying to do anything eastern is just hilarious. They will try and make meditation a social justice issue somehow.
>>42520956Meditation is a meme. It can be useful for self-discipline purposes but spiritually it doesn't do a whole lot
>>42520956>sit down>down nothingHow hard was that?

>>42522019Not if you put on soft ethereal ambient music that takes you places
When I try to meditate, I slip in that pre-sleep state and I start having visions. I am both aware of them and lacking control, it's like watching scenes I haven't imagined. Very interesting and complex. Some have been prophetic but it's very hard to discern the 2% ouf of the random, likely the others mean something too but I haven't figured it outAm I doing it right though?
>>42524237>did somethingWell YOU failed.
>be me>at the doctors>start having a panic attack>doctor teaches me relaxing meditative technique >feel really relaxed>"try it at home anon when you're overwhelmed">at home and overwhelmed >try technique to relax>huge flash of lightning behind my closed eyes>somehow floating 12 feet above my body and see myself sitting in my backyard in my lawn chair>freak out>snap back into bodyHaven't meditated since because it scared the fuck outta me. I'd like to get back into it but don't know where to start. Any ideas what happened to me?
>>42526336you astral project faggot. Teach me the method the doctor taught you
>>42526369It was a deleted house episode from season 2. Very comfy. Chase had to astral project into the house while because it was a high profile crime scene and the lead investigator didn't want the patient cured.
>>42526369Here ya go cunt. 4 count inhale, 8 count exhale. Start at your feet and tighten your muscles in groups until you reach your head. Repeat until your vision starts to vibrate. Happy humping.
It took me 14 years to finally "get" meditation, never give up OP.
>>42521054how bout im doin neither
>>42526509so the purpose is to just tense your body?
I've similarly been struggling meditation since I'm a young fag and its cancer trying to focus when you've been brought up in a state of constant stimulation from technology.
